Dont forget food.
@Silverback could probably bribe me to come down and give his truck the treatment.

Hmm. Might have a deal. I need to dig my pressure washer out of the shed and hope it still runs.. its not old but I haven't started it in a year or two. And no I didn't put Sta-bil in it even though I have a big thing of it. But the plan is to sell the 81 in the up coming weeks and start on the Taco. First will be a good washing, then go from there... might need a clay-bar treatment as well but I know this DA buffer and the Chemical Brothers compounds will come in handy. I just ordered an 18" Milwaukee tool bag to hold all the crap. The Meguiars bag is over flowing with pads and crap. Might as well just get a bigger one. So once its clean its time to swap back in my RCV axle for my drivers side up front, rotors and pads and replace all the brake lines. I've got everything already.. just need to get a

The 6.0 and 12.0 have much better batteries in them with higher capacity and longer life. I researched the living crap out of Milwakee's tools before I bought last month. Pretty sure I got a great deal on the package because it was all the old 5.0 batteries and they are getting ready to push the HD 6.0. The 9.0 is the same older style batteries as the 5.0 I just got in my kit just more cells used. I think maybe AVE on youtube did the comp, but not sure because I watched so many darn videos and breakdowns.

Search your tube history and see if you locate it, if not I’ll dig around for it, but in theory the 9 should be a better battery or it was renamed for more profit over quality.

I’m really considering getting the M18 leaf blower, before I can open my shop doors I have been using the compressor and 2ft air wand and it takes about 10 minutes to clear off the carport. The summer/fall in south Texas starts now, the trees start dropping, especially the hickory trees start dropping most of their leaves to conserve water, in the past 5 weeks we have had less than 1/8” rain over 3 different days, which essentially is nothing because it evaporates quickly in this heat( real feel temps near 100 or at 100* by 10am). Phuck all these nonsense, I really need to insulate the shop and put some AC in that biotch.

Cost wise, it seems better to buy the tool only and purchase additional batteries and use the charger I already have.

Yeah the electric blowers are really nice. It doesn't have the same output as my old gas powered leaf blower but it's so much faster to start up and quieter. I have the DeWalt 20V blower and I wished it pushed a little more air but it still gets the job done.

I bought a Kobalt 40v blower last year. Works great. Don't think I have broken out my Echo gas blower since.

Stopped by Home Depot and picked up one of these today. My dad bought one to carry up into the cab of the tractors and the combine so he can keep them clean without dragging cords. Works great. I picked up the set of attachments off Amazon for $7 or so. Allows me to keep my Husky liners clean easier.

Go to about 14:40

9.0 has the good LG cells compared to the 4.0 and 3.o that have 'lesser' capacity batteries with worse discharge rates.


I could of swore I watched a breakdown video of the 6 vs 9 vs 12 and the 9 had the worst batteries. I'm still looking. Searching through my youtube history from over a month ago regarding Milwaukee batteries is like trying to find a needle in a pile of needles lol

I have a bunch of them.. most are the older style. I have had a few take a shit on me over the years but I think its to be expected.

My new Milfawkee 1/2" hammer drill got so hot drilling through granite, natural river stone, and ceramic that I had to put it down so my hands didn't burn. I was amazed it kept going and I was the limit. Prob not the way to break her in properly, but it is what it is and she got her done quick. Ive only used one battery in weeks and I never even fully charged it so I''m pretty happy so far.

This weekends work after camping - so glad my measurements and scribe work was spot on. Clips and everything needs final adjustment before caulk, but I still have a clip that's on back order and holding up the whole job from being finished.

Beautiful glass! Nice job.

But that tile selection job makes me want to puke. Normally the river rock goes on the bottom and not on the wall. :facepalm:

My buddys wife is so young she has yet to learn any sort of style & she was the designer. Good for my buddy I guess though lol Thanks on the glass - that was a pita.

You didn't see where they put slippery ceramic on the floor - I just about died when I was drilling the hinge holes with water as the lube and the pan got wet. Sneakers on wet ceramic is like ice skates on ice.
